Hot Shot Stun Gun/Flashlight and Battery Meter

The Hot Shot stun gun is a contact stun gun that also works as a flashlight, so the safety tool you carry can earn its keep every day. It has a 100-lumen light, built-in battery meter, rechargeable lithium battery, rubberized grip, and a nylon belt holster.

This is a solid choice for walking to your car after dark, checking around the house, walking the dog, or carrying a compact non-lethal self-defense option that does not take up much room.

The Hot Shot measures about 4 inches long, so it can fit inside many pockets, purses, bags, vehicle compartments, or the holster that comes with it.

Why the Hot Shot Stun Gun Fits Everyday Carry

Most people do not carry a self-defense tool every day. It gets left in a drawer because it feels like one more thing to remember.

The Hot Shot gives you a real reason to keep it close. You can use the flashlight for finding your keys, checking a dark porch, looking inside your vehicle, or walking the dog at night. The contact stun gun is built into the same tool.

The battery meter also makes sense. Rechargeable stun guns can sit for weeks without being checked. This model lets you look at the meter and see whether the battery needs attention instead of guessing.

The Truth About the Voltage Number

You will see the Hot Shot listed at 90 million volts. Here is the straight truth. Those large voltage numbers are manufacturer ratings, and most everyday buyers have no way to test them.

The Hot Shot also has a listed output of 4.8 milliamps. Battery charge, contact placement, clothing, and contact time can all affect how a contact stun gun performs.

A big number on the box does not replace keeping the unit charged, testing it correctly, and knowing how the controls work.

How the Hot Shot Stun Gun Works

This is a direct-contact stun gun. The metal contact points must touch the person while the activation button is pressed.

It does not fire probes and does not work from across a room. This is a close-range tool.

The safety switch helps reduce accidental activation. A red indicator light shows when the stun function is armed, so you are not left guessing whether the unit is ready.

Built-In Battery Meter

The built-in battery meter is one of the best features on this model. It gives you a quick way to check the remaining charge before you leave home or put the unit back into storage.

Check the battery level regularly. Do not wait until the flashlight becomes weak or the electrical arc starts sounding different.

100-Lumen Flashlight

The built-in LED flashlight is rated at 100 lumens. That is useful for checking around parked cars, lighting up a doorway, finding something inside a dark vehicle, or seeing where you are walking.

The flashlight works without using the stun function. It gives you a normal reason to have the Hot Shot in your hand before there is a problem.

Rechargeable Lithium Battery

The Hot Shot uses a built-in rechargeable lithium battery and comes with a USB charging cable. You do not have to keep buying disposable batteries.

Charge the unit according to the instructions that come with it. Do not activate the stun function while it is charging.

The exact charging time and battery life between charges are not listed because those details were not confirmed.

Everyday Uses

• Coming home at night: Use the light while finding your keys or checking the porch.
• Home use: Keep it secured in an easy-to-reach place for checking an unexpected sound.
